A lightweight machine-to-machine (LWM2M) protocol can be utilized as a management layer for other applications pertaining to communication and retrieval of information from hardware peripherals. The applications can be managed via a client and the applications can communicate to the client via a standard proxy or message broker. Consequently, sensor codes can be decoupled from the client codes, thus allowing them to both be independent interchangeable components of a specific device's architecture. Therefore, sensors can be added, removed, and/or manipulated without modifying the underlying management layer.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the object data is received from the server device.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting the conformed data is facilitated via a lightweight machine-to-machine device of the network device.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sensor data comprises temperature data representative of a temperature.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the sensor data is first sensor data of a first type, and the second driver is configured to obtain second sensor data of a second type different from the first type.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising, repurposing, by the network device, the hardware pin of the Internet-of-things device to be controlled by another driver installed at the Internet-of-things device.
9. The network equipment of claim 8, wherein the object is received from the server device.
10. The network equipment of claim 8, wherein the transmitting the conformed data is facilitated via a lightweight machine-to-machine device of the network equipment.
11. The network equipment of claim 8, wherein the sensor data comprises temperature data representative of a temperature.
13. The network equipment of claim 12, wherein the sensor data is first sensor data of a first type, and the second driver is configured to obtain second sensor data of a second type different from the first type.
14. The network equipment of claim 8, wherein the operations further comprise, repurposing the group of pins of input and output hardware of the Internet-of-things device to be controlled by another driver installed at the Internet-of-things device.
16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the object is received from the server device.
17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the transmitting the normalized data is facilitated via a lightweight machine-to-machine device of the network equipment.
18. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the sensor data comprises a first type of sensor data.
20. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise, repurposing the group of hardware pins of the Internet-of-things device to be controlled by another driver installed at the Internet-of-things device.
